(On many political blogs, if there's one thing worse than an enemy, it's an ally who's not ideologically pure enough.) Yet it also makes for a kind of happy apartheid. You know that my naive ideas will lead America to crumble like Rome, and I know that morons like you are going to get me killed by a dirty bomb, but we never need to actually say a cross...
